As shown in the following figure, two units of the same voltage and
current rating can be connected in a split-connection series
configuration to provide positive and negative output voltages.
CAUTION
This caution applies when using analog voltage programming with series-
connected power supplies. The analog programming circuits of these power
supplies are referenced to the negative sense (-S) potential. Therefore, the
analog voltage circuits used to control each series-connected unit must be
separated and floated from each other.
